Hi Noel,

Thanks for the comments.

Yes it is 4mm scale.

Thanks Hun xxxx

Fran can you please fix these photos.......

I started this 4 weeks ago, I'm basically pottering away on it. I'm just doing the main building for the moment but I have the plans for the buildings on St. John's rd west. The only thing slowing me down is materials because I like to make from waste card.

Thanks for the comments

oops it,s not 1/35 scale it,s 1/20 making the model over 10.5 meters long. and a divorce .

Card and wood model in 1/35 scale only starting day 5

wow i wonder could he do me a straight six for the Buggatti

congratulations on the baby

Thanks for the kind comments.

The car started off in a blue foam form, which I sanded to shape. I used an empty thinners tin, cat food tins, coke tins.. ect to shape the body. I originally started to solder to body together but discovered hot glue is way quicker because using hot glue on metal is very hard to hold in your hand, I applied hot glue to both pieces then stitched it together with a soldering iron. Other materials used, MDF for the wheels and plastic spure from old kits and anything else that came to hand that the wife doesn't know about.

For the future I'm planning a Mercedes SSK Black Prince, from the chassis up a proper scale model. A large scale Millennium Falcon and a Deltic and a 141

P.S. as i have said already the Bugatti is to scale i just don't know to what scale......... it was more an exercise in making something out of the materials available. I consider it finish, I don't think it merits any more detail.

A bit more progress, in paint but still has a bit more work to be done.

I reckon its roughly 1/5 scale but it's not balls on accurate but close enough.

I will post more pics when I've done a bit more.

Thanks for the comments,I've gone a bit off topic myself this year. I've lost a bit of interest in the model trains.The 121 was a one off,a flight of fancy I had some spare perspex it was a toss up between a class 20 or the 121.

Getting back to the Bugatti type 35, it's made from empty thinners tins and a little MDF. So far everything on it has been scratch built.

The body went together fairly quick it's the little bits that take the time.I don't think i'll get it painted this side of christmas but I will post some photos when it's done.

Next year I plan to have a go of the Bentley blower and a big 141 and maybe a bit of painting and wallpapering......
